Case Studies: St Louis - Chimney Rebuild & Chimney Cover Replacement

Existing concrete chimney with cracking through the bricks and mortar.

After deconstructing the previous chimney, we applied a covering over the pipes to protect the home from outside elements while we work.

Challenge

We love when we get a call from a homeowner that we have done work for in the past. Repeat business is the greatest compliment you could give us! Our previous client gave us a call because they were having some issues with their chimney and needs an estimate. The brick was beginning to settle and shift, compromising the structure and causing pretty significant cracking in both the brick and the cement cap.

Solution

Members of the Bone Dry team went out to the home to take a closer look and assess any damage that had been sustained. We worked in tandem with the homeowners to create a plan for repair that best suited the home's needs. The first step was to deconstruct the existing structure to allow us to build off of a stable foundation. We then reconstructed the chimney, fixing the issue of shifting and bulging bricks. We finished off by replacing the chimney cover by laying new cement, preventing any moisture from leaking in through the cracks. Bone Dry Roofing wants to extend a big thanks to Glen and Shaun for going out and performing such great masonry work to the customer's satisfaction!
